Our county has only one senator in Augusta; currently, state Sen. Kevin Shorey. I am asking all residents of Washington County to consider a change.

Ralph Barnett has knocked on the doors of more than 5,000 Washington County residents and is committed to representing the working people in Augusta. Barnett comes with experience, having served one term in the Legislature some time ago and he knows how to put your point across. It is refreshing to have a choice, and, in my view, Barnett is our advocate in Augusta.

Vote Ralph Barnett in November, the Democratic candidate for state senator.
